Model the task by writing three answers to questions about yourself on the board. Tellstudents that they will play a game to guess the correct question for each answer. Forexample:

Have students suggest possible questions for each word on the board. For example, forLasagna, students might guess Whats your favorite food? or What do you like tocook? For Blue, students may guess Whats your favorite color? or What color isyour car? For Baseball, questions could include Whats your least favorite sport? orWhat sport do the New York Yankees play?
Tell students to work alone. Tell them to write three answers to questions aboutthemselves. Then put them into pairs to take turns guessing the questions. If time allows,have students form new pairs and go through the guessing again.
